Gilas Pilipinas Girls overcame a slow start, ignited from deep in the second quarter, and never looked back since to upset Lebanon anew, 95-64, and rule the 2024 FIBA U18 Asia Cup Division B on Sunday in China. The tournament sweep and the championship allowed the Julie Amos-helmed squad to earn a top flight promotion, booking a ticket to the Division A of the 2026 FIBA U18 Women's Asian Championship.
It even took Gilas three minutes to score a field goal in the second quarter, but their fiery offense proved difficult to answer for Lebanon, which they defeated by 26 in their first meeting during the group stages.A Jolzyne Impreso bucket from downtown late in the third period then sent Gilas to a 40-point advantage, 72-32, as there was hardly a fightback from Lebanon except for a strong run to end the frame. Gilas' lead was too hard to overcome as they marched to the victory.
